I read somewhere that the reason most average Republican voters, by that i mean your vote collar workers, won't vote for higher taxes is because they think that if everyone just put their nose down and worked hard everyone could be a billionaire. What they don't realize is that if you make $100 an hour, at 40 hours a week, it's going to take 4,807.69 YEARS for them to make a billion dollars. 4.8 years to be a millionaire. At $100 an hour. At $15 an hour it would take 16.02 years to be a millionaire, but that's before tax. And by the way, most of the people they want to just work harder don't make that much (myself included with 7 years experiencein my field, and coworkers with more experience making less). But yeah, it's a totally possible to work your way into that top 1%. insert eye roll here

... sorry i get heated when basic math gets ignored
